Will the council need to approve it?
In Wales a single-storey rear extension can usually project up to 4 m beyond the rear wall without a planning application, if it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m and overall height to 4 m within 2 m of a boundary, and covers no more than half the land around the original house. Wales has no larger home extension prior approval scheme.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (AONBs) and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
